 Location: Lone Star State | Had a mare last spring that lost weight, became super nervous, paced alot, and had a dull coat. I knew what triggered it so I knew it was ulcers. She was given a zesterra lick tub as well as zesterra ulcer treatment for 2 weeks then put her on Daily Gold for couple of months. She rebounded, gained weight back, and was back to her old self. For the price, I don't think you can beat it as I saw a major difference. Right now she is out to pasture, stress free with no supplements doing well but will be going back on it when worked.

| My horse impaction colicked on it. Took about 2 weeks. When vet did her exam , she pulled out clumps of what looked like the daily gold from his rectum. This has been about 7 years ago and just my personal experience that I had. I'm not saying it doesn't work , but did not work for this horse. |

This is about the 4th time I've seen someone say that about this product... honestly, I threw away my free samples after hearing a few stories. I'm sure plenty of people have had better results but I just didn't feel comfortable using it. |

| I would try something like Stride Lifeline Plus or Succeed. Both have proven results |

 Location: Da Booshes | Daily Gold contains montmorillonite clay which is bentonite clay, basically the stuff you buy in sacks to plug leaks in a stock pond. While it's not toxic I wouldn't want to feed my horses anything that is used to plug a hole. |

Is theirs Sodium Bentonite or Calcium Bentonite? I wouldn't use Na Bentonite but Ca Bentonite has many good properties. |

    Location: Dubach, LA | Y'all made me second guess the results I saw short term. I've read probably 500+ reviews with the only negative being some horses won't eat it. I have reached out to Redmond and will share any reply I get. I did call the local performance vet clinic and received a thumbs up on the product. He said when people have problems with the product, they have almost always gone off label with use. He did say I might should feed any other supplements at a separate feeding. |

| I know you didn't ask, but maybe look into Purina Outlast. I keep a couple of mine on it and I'm happy with it! |

 Location: Da Booshes | Obviously people have seen results. I had issues with it and won't use it. I basically had the same problem as Flitastic.

Speaking of Purina outlast , they now make an outlast horse treat. 5 treats is a serving of outlast. My horses love them and at TS they are 9.00 a bag. |
